Action Message Format (AMF): Flash and Flex Application Performance Monitoring

Visibility into Rich Internet Applications

Action Message Format Screen 1The ExtraHop Action Message Format (AMF) Module provides your IT team with crucial visibility into the health and performance of Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) built on Adobe Flash and Adobe Flex technologies.

RIAs built on Adobe Flash have transformed how people think about consumer and business applications. Presented consistently across browsers and mobile and desktop platforms, these RIAs are easy to use and drive deep end-user engagement. However, for enterprise IT teams, managing the health and performance of these RIAs can prove challenging without metrics built specifically using the AMF protocol.

The ExtraHop AMF Module monitors traffic to and from Adobe Flash-based RIAs, analyzes L7 transaction-level details, and reports detailed performance and health metrics by client IP address and method in real time. Parsing details in the AMF protocol for client-facing and web-services traffic, the ExtraHop AMF Module builds valuable metrics based on responses or errors and retrieved objects. Equipped with these specifically defined metrics, your IT team can troubleshoot, tune, and proactively fix Adobe Flash-based RIAs more effectively.
